Valentine Snow Globes

One of my daughters favorite Chrismas presents this year was a snow globe. She could sit for an hour and shake it and stare at it. It was adorable and even her younger brother loved looking at it with her. So for Valentines Day we created some "shaker's" as my daughter would call them.

Supplies needed:

Baby Food Jars

Glitter

Water

Styrofoam ball

Heart shape (I found these hearts at the dollar store but the black one is just a pipe cleaner that I formed into a heart. Use what you have. :)

Hot Glue Gun

Paint for the lid of the baby food jar

How we did it:

I cut the Styrofoam ball in half. Then I hot glued it to the cap of the baby food jar. While I was doing that my daughter painted the top of the lids pink. Then we placed the heart in the middle of the Styrofoam. Then my daughter picked glitter out and shook some in the jar and then she helped me put water in. Screw the lid on tight and have fun shaking and looking at the pretty glitter.

We are going to print a little heart gift tag and give these as gifts to her Awana teachers... I think they will love them.

Thanks,

NEW TIP: Use Glycerin in the water to create a thicker fluid and then the glitter will linger longer before falling.

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

A big thank you to Andy who sent me some amazing cookies to try to conduct my review. :) All opinions expressed are 100 % mine and I was not paid for this review. About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry. Although Andy had an MBA in Banking and Finance and had even written a book entitled, “A Guide to Taking Control of Your Investments”, he found himself to be disenchanted with the financial industry and left to pursue “other work.” The “other work” that Andrew pursued was with the Church and did not provide financial support for the family. During this time Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to find other forms of income. They did what they could for themselves and their five children but often it was not enough. But there were...
